MCCORMICK COUNTY DEM OCRATIC EXECUTIVE COM- MITTEE. j q PATTERSON, Secretary. May 28, 1942. A Tribute Of Love In loving memory, I wish to pay tribute to one whom it was my pleasure to instruct in the , Sunbeam Band and the B. T. U. during her childhood. I refer to Catherine Bussey Lu- quire, the younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Bussey of ParksviUe. She was born and rear ed in a home where God was loved and reverenced, and this home training was reflected in her ev ery day life* Catherine was very inteUigent, witty and humorous — always bright and cheerful, scattering sunshine and happiness wherever she went. She possessed rare traits of mind and character that fitted her for a good and useful life. Having united with ParksviUe Baptist Church in her girlhood, she was obedient and loyal to ev ery duty. Loved by all who came in touch with her beautiful life, she stands as a challenge to us, for greater service. Her faithfulness in the performance of life’s duties, meant much in her influence for good and was an Inspiration to many. This young woman received her education at Winthrop College, afterwards held a responsible po sition in Columbia, where she met Mr. J. W. Luquire, Jr., a graduate of the Citadel, Charleston, S. C. They were married in Oct., 1937, little dreaming, she was doomed :o but a few short years—howev er, we live not in years, but deeds. How sad her life should come to a close just as she reached that ;olden period of a woman’s life- motherhood. She left an infant son, J. W. Luquire, m, to whom our hearts go out in tenderest sympathy. At the time of her passing, May 2nd, the£ were residing in West Palm Beach, Fla., where Mr.‘Lu quire, who is a Civil engineer, was jngaged in work of the Farm Se curity Administration of the Fed eral Gov’t. To the beloved husband, par ents, sister and brothers, we would say, she has faded from this earth, ;o blossom in that Heavenly land where shadows never come. We must accept the fact that our heavenly Father, in His divine mve, gathers His own to Himself, and we must bow in humble sub mission to God’s will. Remember, dear friends, “Earth las no sorrow that heaven can not heal”—therefore, I commend /ou to Him, who alone can bear you perfect peace and sympathy. Carrie Talbert. May 18, 1942.

Lesson for May 31: Mark 14:32- 34, 44-46; 15:1-5. Golden Text: Luke 22:42. The lesson gives some of the tragic details of the hours that preceded the crucifixion—the agony in Gethsemane, the betray al, and the appearance of Jesus before Pilate. Gethsemane is preserved today, with its gnarled old olive trees, and is regarded by many as the most sacred spot on earth. When Jesus and the disciples entered it, he took with him the chosen three and went farther into the garden. The three fell asleep and Jesus was left alone in his agony. It was heinous indeed _ that Judas chose a kiss to identify Jesus to the soldiers. Pilate is a sad picture of a man trying to do his duty but failing miserably. Another gospel tells that he washed his hands in token of his innocence. But his base subterfuge availed nothing. The responsibility was his alone and his surrender of jurisdiction, as it were, to the accusers was a travesty of justice. When Pilate asked Jesus if he was a king, he answered, “Thou sayest.” But Pilate saw that Jesus was not the kind of king who would imperil Caesar. Under the Govenor’s questioning concerning the accusations made against him, Jesus maintained a dignified silence. And that silence of a king who was soon to be crowned with thorns should shame us if ever we are tempted to be untrue to the patient Sufferer. —Buy War Savings Stamps— Don Robinson RUBBER .... facts A lot of this talk about our acute rubber situation is apt to go in one ear and out the other. If it does, it’s time every one of us plugged up that other ear and absorbed the facts. I decided to look over the gov ernment’s figures on rubber pri marily for my personal benefit in order to get to the bottom of confusing reports to determine what was the patriotic thing to do about driving my own car. After getting the dope there is no question in my mind but that it is a definitely disloyal act for us to use our cars for any but the most necessary purposes. Here are a few of the facts which stand out: 1. The government’s reserve supply of rubber will be pretty well used up this year. After that, nobody seems to know where our rubber, even for vital war needs, will come from. 2. All of the talk about syn thetic rubber and growing guayule rubber in this country doesn’t mean a thing, so far as supplies for the next two or three years are concerned. Synthetic rub ber may meet many of our needs by 1944, but for the next two years it will amount to little. As for guayule rubber grown here and in Mexico—it will be i946 before the crop will be sizable enough to count. 3. About 98 per cent of the rub ber we import in peacetime comes from lands which are now over run with Japanese, so practically our entire source of natural rub ber is cut off. 4. The biggest stock-pile of rubber in the world is on the wheels of our nation’s 34,000,000 automobiles. 5. Unless something is done soon, hundreds of thousands of workers in vital war industries will not be able to go to work when their tires wear out. SOURCES ..... figures If you like to see actual figures, here are the ones which bjst portray the acuteness of our . .j- ber situation: Our normal needs for ( rv' ’^er average 768,000 tons a year. Last year we imported about 30j j00 tons more than was used— ch is the major part of our stock pile for this year. Last year 54 per cent of ou- im ports came from Malaya, 3f per cent from the Netherlands Last Indies, 6 per cent from Ceylon xnd 2 per cent from the Burma area. That makes 98 per cent— ..nd we can’t get an ounce of ubber this year from any of f ose Japanese controlled areas. i.he other 2 per cent came from Africa and South America. In 1941 our production of syn thetic rubber was 15,000 tons. This year it is expected to be 28,000 tons. In 1943, if present plans are carried out, we may produce as much as 350,000 tons and in 1944 may push this production as high as 700,000 tons. That’s something to look forward to—but it’s not going to solve our rubber problems for some time to come. As for guayule, which has been grown in small quantities in Mexico, we have started growing that in nurseries but it will be 1944 before we get any crop—and that crop will be only 12,000 tons. By 1946 we may have 75,000 tons available from that source—and after that the yield will increase rapidly. But that’s five years :rom now and we can’t put the war off for five years. TIRES . . • re-claiming The only source of rubber in any quantity available to us to day is re-claimed rubber. Re claimed rubber won’t by itself, do a lot of the jobs for which we need rubber, but, by using partly re-claimed rubber in most everything, we can make our stockpile of imported rubber last longer. It is estimated that there may be as much as a million tons of rubber in the homes of America in the form of old rubber boots, galoshes, toys, worn out tires, lot water bottles, etc. If we will all search our houses and back wards for every scrap of rubber and will turn it in when there is a local rubber collection, it will ?o a long way toward easing the situation. But when re-claimed rubber is considered, our automobile tires must be a great temptation to those officials whose job it is to find the rubber for our war needs. Each of us, on our cars, carries about 70 pounds of rubber tires— a total of 1,180,000 tons, or almost twice the amount we ordinarily consume for all purposes in a year. We are being permitted to con tinue running our cars only be cause they are a necessity. We must stop thinking of them as being pleasure cars and must stop all non-essential riding. We are being entrusted with precious rubber—which is needed for bombers, ships and tanks—only to permit us to go on playing vital roles in civilian life—to carry on our jobs and to perform war duties. The burden ^ of keeping Ameri- :a’s civilian economy rolling rests an the shoulders of America s motorists. A "pleasure trip” from xow on gives the keenest pleasure to our enemies.
